From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Mi name Varon, come London 1948. Mi see chair come, chair go. Back then, South London rough, cold, quirky chairs for living room but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Modern people love shiny tings. Any London market you choose, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, but dem honest. Back in de day, Armchair pass from father to son. Every scratch talk story. Man look pon we like crazy, but dat sofa warm half community. Dat sofa part of mi life.

Design mix by area. Chelsea go fancy, wid velvet accent chair. Shoreditch wild, wid sofa in bright clash. Modern flat-pack? Dem break quick. Vintage chair grow wid you. End of de day, mi take scarred sofa over glossy fake. If you tink to buy quick, take armchair wid scar, and let it be part of your life.
